Just remember one thing guys ... in some countries and areas within these countries we don't have the facility to receive an analogue signal any more. So when purchasing a TV tuner device make sure it can receive both digital and terrestrial signals --- or at least decode a digital signal (freeview ) for those in the UK

Yeah it's pretty much the same here depending on where you are, and how close you are to a signal, among other things. I just thought I'd give a few suggestions so he could see whats available.
You make a good point that he should know what is available in his area.
Thanks for pointing that out PooMan.
